Great to meet someone as excited as we collectors are :yes: It looks very happy in its new home! Now you need a shoulder strap for summer from our esteemed machinist member!!
The M90 is a step up in all categories, although the M70 is still my personal fave!!
I'll keep an eye out :w00t: make that BOTH eyes out for another king of beasts :-P

What a fantastic story!! :yes: First, it's great to see such an enthusiastic female collector here at Boomboxery. Second, Holly finds her "Holy Grail" boombox in less than four months from an esteemed member. Some members wait four YEARS to find their grail. Congratulations, Holly!! Now, don't stop there. There are so many more boomboxes that can use a woman's touch. :-)

By the way, I got my M70 from James also. He's definitely top notch. :yes:

Thanks, so much, Fatdog:

I feel SO LUCKY!
You know what's funny about the "women's touch" thing is that I was in third or fourth grade when my dad bought this. I remember how hard(!) it was to push, PLAY (!) with my little kid fingers!

It is amazing to push play, see the metal parts (and the orange circle!), feel how much pressure it takes to push the switch down, then hear the light, "clink!" It's like a freaking time warp! I've been on cloud nine all day!

My SUPER AWESOME husband even surprised me with some MXL II-S blank tapes STILL IN THE PACKAGE he found at Value Village a few weeks back! I used to pay big bucks for those! I would buy vinyl then record them onto cassette for my walkman or dad's boombox.

I still can't belive how great that beast sounds! Except, I told Dave: "Mark my words: that boomer sounds AMAZING! It doesn't matter that it's been 20 years since I first heard it."

He just smiled and said, "let's find one(he didn't believe me, though!)" He's so GREAT!

Now that he's heard the M70, he wants the M90!

SWEET!

WoW Holly, what a great story. :thumbsup: So glad to see you own this legendary boombox. Don't know why more ladies aren't involved in our hobby but we need more female members. Glad you are here. :yes: An M90 is great but before you plunk down big $$'s for one, just keep in mind that although the M70 is at least 80%+ of an M90, the M90's frequently command 300, sometimes 400% premiums over the M70. Just food for thought.

awesome ,now you can lay the smack down on those goofy teens who don't know how bad ass old skool can be :-D


for me a boom box has to be a predator that stalks and destroys lesser radio's and that's what the m70 is :-P


nice job all around james is a great guy :yes: .

JOE!

That's SAD!
If it makes you feel any better, though, I paid a lot more. The market has been high on them over the last couple months. It probably is the income tax season. After seeing some experiences on the board, how roughly my dad used to treat his, and considering how old they are, I really wanted one from someone I could trust. Buying one from a Boomboxery was my best bet for that.

I have no doubt you paid a decent price for your M70. James has been getting some killer prices on ebay lately.... and M70's in general have been on a high cycle.... as compared to last year anyway. Even an M70 in questionable condition sells for over $300... $400-$500 fully functional and documented with pictures. It is a sizable investment, and it can cost ALOT to find parts or donor boxes to get what you thought was a decent M70 up to snuff. It was a wise choice to buy from a stand-up member like James and to spend the time to pick it up in person. I love M70s... :thumbsup:
